that seems to be the main focus of the paul ryan budget. i think medicare, reshaping the expectations of that, he even calls it a medicare exchange. it seems like we could pull paul a little bit closer to what we are thinking with regards to medicare for all. i think there is tremendous opportunities to craft some things. it depends on whether or not people are going to be dug in. i do think that the republicans need to do a little bit more than we do. we do have the presidency and one house. our democracy was not designed for the minority to be like a brat and rave and rant and not -- until they can't have their way. when i look at the schedule of congress i realize the republicans are just trying to run the clock out on this president's term. you come in. you do three votes in a day. one is on approving the journal. the other is on a motion to adjourn. and the other is on some congratulating a basketball team. we are going to run out of post offices to name before we destroy the postal service. host: independent line, this is william. go

this week, the house budget committee chair, paul ryan, laid out his budget plan. sadly, it's just more of the same. like a bad record, this year's republican proposal is virtually the same document as the one he proposed last spring. it harms the middle class. it harms low-income americans, and it is especially bad for women and families. now, they have framed this budget and called it a prosperity one, a prosperity plan. but this budget should be called the road to austerity, because it is a plan that is most noteworthy for the rather harsh austerity it demands of the many and the lavish benefit it extends to the few. it clearly envisions a rising tide of selective tax cuts that would lift all yachts, but leave many dinghies behind. our republican friends like to talk about making the hard choices, but what they propose here would make it much harder for millions of americans and also make things much easier for a fortunate few. that's their plan. now, specifically under this plan, he has this new goal of balancing the budget in 10 years. and to accomplish this,
